Ken Schneider, loves to help people get rid of junk mail. If you live in our service area, bring the mail that you would like stopped to the Center, Ken will make the necessary contacts and eliminate it for you. Each year, we Americans get billions of pieces of unwanted U.S. Mail—credit card offers, timeshare spiels, win this, get that etc.—our mail boxes are often crammed with this stuff. The thing is, we don’t want any of it ! Cheer up! We can stop getting most or all of it. Ken Schneider has volunteered to help anyone escape the junk mail deluge. Bring in your junk mail and place it in the box near the reception area . Ken will take the necessary steps to begin freeing you of this mailbox burden.
